I have never been one of those people to go all out with seasonal decorations. So the holidays in my household are normally simple and traditional in every sense of the word. However, I do love Target’s diverse range of seasonal items, such as the silver Snowflake Beaded Charger ($11.69), Threshold™ Snowflake Rectangle Tablecloth ($14.99 – $18.99), Threshold Beaded Aluminum Cake Stand ($19.99), Aluminum Beaded Serving Bowl ($19.99), silver Theshold Serving Tray with Handles ($14.99), Sequin Placemat Set of 4 ($19.99), and Threshold Aluminum Beaded 3-Section Server ($14.99). These pieces are simple, yet exude refined elegance without a steep price tag attached. Since they’re not decked out with typical seasonal designs (i.e. Santa Claus, Christmas trees, and the like), they can be used throughout the winter season and beyond (for most of the pieces).

Even though I keep it fairly simple during holiday gatherings, fun and entertainment is something my holidays do not lack in the least. My household is typically lively with chatter and music. This is why and how something like the Crosley CR66 Rochester 5 in 1 Entertainment Center ($119.99) can easily come into play. It comes with an auxiliary input, record player, AM/FM Radio, tape, and CD Player – perfect for old-fashioned and modern day music lovers alike!

I’m like you – we don’t really go all out with the decor either. Partly because we don’t have room to store things that only get used for a short window of time, and partly because I’m just too exhausted to put in that much effort. 🙂 One tradition my husband and I have started is to buy a new ornament for the tree each year. It’s a small thing, but each year when we decorate the tree, we pull out those ornaments and are reminded of the story that goes along with each one.Julie recently posted..Friday I’m In Love: Freshbox, Dwell Store, Your Own Private Island

My son loves to collect albums and bought himself a similar stereo model at Target a couple years ago. It has survived two moves and nearly daily use and is holding up wonderfully. It’s great!Tonya {The Traveling Praters} recently posted..I’m Grateful.

We don’t have a lot of traditions, but one we’ve kept since our daughter was young is that while we decorate the Christmas Tree we listen to all the VeggieTales Christmas music, she’s 17 now, but we still do it!Tammy recently posted..Merry Christmas, From Your Friends at Best Buy

I love enjoying my dad’s homemade cinnamon rolls on Thanksgiving as a pre-meal snack. They are to die for, and I only get them once a year, so they’ve become very sacred to me!Marcie W. recently posted..Kitchenbug Is A Recipe Box, And A Really Good One!
